Modern crop and livestock systems are complex, and the management of these systems requires continuous adaptation and change in practices and strategies. Many advances in agricultural technology offer opportunities to protect water quality and build soil health, yet farmers are often unable or unwilling to adopt new practices.
Featured speaker Dr. Linda Prokopy, Professor, Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, Purdue University, will make two presentations during our Seminar. Her topics are: Meta-Review of Barriers and Motivations for Farmers to Adopt Conservation Practices, and Leveraging Crop Advisors to Deliver Agricultural Conservation Advice and Increase Adoption of Conservation Practices.
